What Makes This Recipe Special?
This dessert stands out because it’s incredibly light and fluffy, with a richness that comes from the cream yet is perfectly balanced by the freshness of strawberries.

Recipe Tips & Swaps
Got some tweaks or dietary needs to consider? No worries, check out these simple swaps to customize your strawberry cream:
- Whipping Cream Alternatives: For a dairy-free version, substitute the heavy whipping cream with an equal amount of coconut cream.
- Sweetener Options: Feel free to use stevia drops or Allulose instead of Erythritol or Swerve.
- Strawberry Variations: Although strawberries are the star of this recipe, feel free to swap them out for other berries like raspberries or blueberries for a different twist.

Ingredients (makes 6 servings)
Instructions
- To a medium saucepan add the strawberries (reserve about 4 strawberries for topping), sweetener, and 1/2 cup (120 ml) water. You could even use frozen strawberries and use them all in the cream (none for topping).
- In a small cup or bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over the remaining 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold water and let stand for a couple minutes to soften.
- Using a spatula, break the strawberries into smaller pieces. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the sweetener has dissolved.
- Transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender and process until smooth.
- Pour the strawberry mixture back into the saucepan and add the bloomed gelatin. Heat up over a medium heat until the gelatin has just dissolved.
- Take off the heat and set aside to cool down to room temperature. You can speed this up by placing the saucepan in a bowl filled with ice water.
- Add the whipping cream (or coconut cream) and vanilla to a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer or a stand mixer to whip until fluffy. For best results, use a chilled bowl to whip the cream. Add the cooled strawberry puree.
- Beat until well combined. Pour into a container or a pie dish (at least 1L capacity) and refrigerate for at least an hour or until set.
- Thinly slice the remaining strawberries and fold on top on the chilled strawberry cream. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Serve as an after dinner dessert or for breakfast.
- To store, refrigerate for up to 5 days.
